Values: Why Island encourages imagination and kinship in children. In this tale, parents with kids who want to know everything right away learn an important skill: P-A-T-I-E-N-C-E.

WHO IS THE FLYING SQUID?

The Flying Squid is Chopito! Literally a squid-out-of-water, learning everything about life from scratch. But Chopito is lucky, because he has your child to help him make sense of the world. Chopito - the Flying Squid - is comical, innocent, imaginative, with a whale-sized heart inside of him. He is any child’s perfectly imperfect friend. He flies like a kite and inspires like a star. He is the squid-child in you.

RECORD YOUR OWN NARRATION

Even if you go on a business trip, your children can still hear your voice through your recorded narration. Also, children can practice their reading skills by recording their voices, which you parents can enjoy when you’re away in a distant, lonely hotel room. (It works both ways!) And use iCloud to back up your narrations.
